If I understand you correctly, you'd like to "merge" two directories in the
repository into one in your working copy.
This is not possible with subversion.
I'll be trying to get such a thing done in fsvs (fsvs.tigris.org), but that
won't work for source control - it's thought for machine installations.
What you possibly need is
- checkout your common folder beneath or below your project1 directory
(possibly using svn:externals)
- modify your Makefile to search the other directory too (either
hardcoded, or with something like
http://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/html_chapter/make_4.html#SEC34)
Hope that helps.

Phil
